Knotty Business

[athenken]

I am looking at starting a business selling items made with rope. Specifically, using the art of Marlinspiking. You can find a couple of the items I have made here. I will also be expanding into wrapped bottles and other items, but I just wanted to get some feedback as to how much you thing someone would spend on items like these.

Are the pics of the crosses to scale (how big are they)?

Nice work

The cost would have to cover your supply costs, plus shipping/packing....with extra so you make 'something' from your labor

The one with the loop on top stands about 6 inches. Normally these are hung from a rear-view mirror or something. The other stands about a foot tall. The thing in the middle is a ball that jingles that I have found at Micheal's.

Also, the materials for each one is only a couple bucks, and they take about an hour to make.

Oh I see....perhaps specifying their measurements will help with the feedback you are seeking on your blog

Good luck and God bless

My main purpose here is to find out how much an average person would spend on something like these, say if you found them at a mall or the like.
